Custom homes, major renovations, and structural builds done right — the first time. Licensed & fully insured since 1986.
Joe Shadel picked up a hammer as a disgruntled teenager and never put it down. What started as grunt work on local job sites turned into a 40-year career building some of the most demanding residential projects in New Jersey.
From a 7,000 sq ft oceanfront residence in Ocean County to the custom estates of Morris County, Joe has earned a reputation for one thing: doing the job right, no matter the complexity. When Hurricane Sandy devastated the Jersey Shore, Joe's builds stood while others didn't.
Joe shows up. Joe delivers.
Ground-up builds from 1,500 to 10,000+ sq ft. Designed and built to your exact vision.
Whole-home guts, additions, and structural work. We handle the complexity so you don't have to.
Full remodels from demo to final finish. Cabinets, tile, plumbing, electrical—all under one roof.
Pressure-treated, composite, and hardwood. Multi-level designs and custom railings.
Post-Sandy veterans. We rebuild stronger so you're ready for whatever comes next.
“From start to finish Joe was involved and was always available for questions. He completed additional research for us so we could make the best informed decisions. I can truly say he is the most thorough and detail oriented contractor we have worked with! He takes great pride in his work and takes extra time to make sure it looks perfect.”
“He completely transformed our 70’s style kitchen into a modern looking workspace. He is trustworthy, diligent and precise. I never felt that he took on the job just to finish it — he takes pride in his work and wants to do the job the right way, even if it means a little extra time and effort. I would recommend Joe Shadel without reservation.”
“I’m a civil engineer by trade so I expect the highest quality of work in my home, no short cuts, all jobs done to code, and Joe has never let me down. He maintains extremely high standards, his work in all disciplines is top notch. He purchases quality materials and does a quality job on schedule and within budget.”
